Honda to launch next-generation EVs in China by 2027
JAPAN’S Honda Motor plans to launch six next-generation electric vehicle (EV) models branded Ye in China by 2027, the automaker said on Tuesday (Apr 16).
It added that it also planned to roll out a total of 10 Honda-brand EV models in China by 2027 in the race to ensure EVs make up 100 per cent of its automobile sales in the country by 2035.
Japan’s second-biggest car maker has lagged behind European and US competitors such as General Motors and Volkswagen in ramping up EV sales.
And faced with increasing competition from Chinese EV makers, Honda and rival Nissan Motor said last month they were considering a partnership on key components and software.
